Ever tried being nice to someone you can’t stand? Yeah—same. In this episode, we’re diving head-first into:
💬 Why fake niceness should be a crime
🧠 How to stay real without losing your sanity
👻 Superstitions that still make us knock on wood
🎶 The songs that hit different when you’re grieving
🪩 Adult friendships, social overstimulation, and themed costumes we probably took too far

We’re talking authenticity, awkward small talk, and all the emotional chaos that makes being a grown-up feel like a group project nobody wanted to lead.

Hot take: You don’t have to like everyone—just don’t be a weirdo about it.

Bonus bits: Urban legends, Halloween energy, and hints about our next guest 👀

This week, your favorite chaotic duo dives head-first into beauty hauls and horse rescues—because nothing says “self-care” like new mascara and mild trauma. 🐴💄

Between family chaos, Halloween hysteria, and one very sketchy Candy Man story, Ashten and Jen somehow end up debating anxiety, aliens, and alternate universes (because of course they do). 👽✨

If you’ve ever bought a beauty product to fix your life, Googled “are we alone,” or accidentally started a rodeo in your driveway, this episode is for you.

Tune in for laughter, chaos, and the comforting reminder that no matter how weird life gets… there’s always another universe where you handled it better. 💅🌌

It’s spooky season and your favorite hot mess express is back—armed with Halloween facts no one asked for, deep dives into nostalgic TV comfort shows, and an unhinged discussion about The Great Emu War (yes, Australia literally went to war with birds… and lost). 🦤

Jen’s on a self-care soapbox about “the healing power of naps,” Ashten’s spiraling over missing-person documentaries, and somehow they still find time to debate whether made-for-TV movies shaped our childhoods or just traumatized us.

It’s chaos, comfort, and cultural commentary all rolled into one pumpkin-spiced fever dream.

Tune in if you love Halloween, nostalgia, urban legends, and two besties who should not be allowed unsupervised with a microphone.

In this episode, the hosts explore various themes ranging from horror movies and their unsettling histories to personal anecdotes about social interactions in Walmart. They discuss the evolution of communication, particularly the use of old sayings in modern contexts, and reflect on the impact of iconic actress Diane Keaton on their lives. The conversation also touches on personal growth and the importance of self-reflection, culminating in a light-hearted conclusion about the challenges of navigating social dynamics.

It’s equal parts creepy, cozy, and cathartic in this week’s episode of This Is Why We Can’t Have a Podcast. 🕷️💀 From Halloween spider superstitions (are they ghosts or just bad roommates?) to the chaos of No-Spend November and the emotional landmines of anniversaries and memories — Ashten and Jen tackle it all with their signature mix of humor, honesty, and unfiltered bestie banter.

Along the way, a seemingly innocent burning questions game spirals into heartfelt confessions about love, loss, and what it really means to keep going when grief sneaks up in unexpected ways. Whether you’re here for the spooky facts, the sentimental chaos, or just the comfort of two friends laughing through life’s messiest moments — this one’s for you.

Welcome to another round of emotional whiplash with Jen & Ashten — where one minute we’re talking about heartwarming memories and the next we’re diagnosing Netflix serial killers like we have psychology degrees from TikTok. 👻

This week, we’re diving into spooky Halloween traditions (that may or may not involve questionable superstitions ), reliving our Disney movie eras (Coco still makes us cry, fight us), and debating which true crime suspect we’d accidentally have a conversation with. We also spiral into a conversation about mental health, creative therapy, and Jen’s new embroidery machine obsession — because of course she’s in her “crafting to drive Ashten insane ” era.

And yes, Taylor Swift makes another guest appearance in our emotional breakdown — because what’s a healing journey without a Swift lyric that ruins your week and your mascara? 

By the end, we promise you’ll laugh, relate, and maybe question your own life choices right alongside us.

🎧 Tune in — now streaming everywhere (and finally on YouTube, so you can see our facial expressions of pure judgment in HD).

This week’s episode is a chaotic buffet of TikTok drama, celebrity daydreams, and relationship trauma disguised as “funny stories.” 🎤

Jen’s out here picking celebrity narrators for her life (because apparently Morgan Freeman wasn’t available), while Ashten is busy trying to make “The Wrinkle Wagon” a real senior joyride business. 💅

Somewhere between grieving old relationships and planning our golden years, we spiral into speed-dating scenarios that prove red flags do come in every shade of beige. 🚩

There’s laughter, oversharing, accidental therapy, and enough sass to get us permanently banned from the Hallmark Channel.

Highlights include:
💔 Grieving relationships (and still stalking their TikToks)
💨 The Wrinkle Wagon: coming soon to a nursing home near you
🎙️ Who would narrate your life — and why is it not David Attenborough?
💋 Speed dating chaos, because apparently we don’t learn lessons

Grab your headphones and your emotional support iced coffee — this episode proves healing is funnier with Wi-Fi. ☕💀

🎃 Episode: October’s Spooky Vibes 👻

It’s officially October, which means we’re watching Halloween movies that won’t give us nightmares (sorry, we’re more Casper than Conjuring). We dig into why Hocus Pocus might actually be overrated (don’t @ us), drop some ridiculous October fun facts you’ll probably never use, and confess how much money we’ve accidentally spent making Halloween “magical” for our kids (spoiler: it’s more than our rent). 💸

Somewhere in between, we relive a cruise experience that proves buffets and unlimited drinks should come with a therapist, roast our kids’ sass levels, and admit that parenting feels like living in a haunted house—but the ghosts are just tiny humans screaming “MOM!” every 10 seconds. 👶➡️😈

Friendship, relationships, nostalgia, food—we cover it all while proving once again that yes, we can turn literally anything into chaos.

If you came here for structure, wrong podcast. If you came here for snark, sarcasm, and too much honesty… buckle up, Boo. 🎃🛳️🍫

This week, your two favorite chaos coordinators are back — and yes, we cover everything from classic Doris Day movies to polygamy in Utah because apparently that’s our brand now.

Jen exposes her wildly specific opinions on old movies, Ashten reveals why she literally cannot sleep in silence (pray for her future roommates), and somehow we spiral into rapture theories and the Amish like we’re running a late-night cult podcast.

We also tackle social media trends (because of course we did), play a cutthroat round of “This or That,” and roast the latest Dancing with the Stars cast harder than sequins under stage lights.

At the end of the day, it’s just two best friends proving yet again that friendship is built on sarcasm, questionable pop culture takes, and at least one conversation that could get us kicked out of Sunday school.

✨ Todays Episode: “Dust Bunnies, Dave Ramsey, and World Peace” ✨

Because nothing says International Day of Peace like fighting with your spouse over who spent $200 at Target. 🛒💸

We’re tackling the big stuff:
    •    Why cleaning your house is basically spiritual warfare (spoiler: dust always wins). 🧹
    •    How Dave Ramsey would react if he saw your Amazon order history. 📦
    •    The pet peeves that might actually be red flags (yes, we’re judging). 🚩
    •    And why self-awareness is the gift that keeps on ruining your fun. 🙃

Somewhere between world peace and Windex, we manage to roast ourselves, our relationships, and anyone who thinks financial management is “fun.”

So grab your headphones, light a candle (or a Lysol wipe), and join us—because clearly, this is why we can’t have a podcast. 🎙️🔥
